Intro:
D G Bm A Em G
Verse:
D G A
Underspent and too young, too
G Bm D G
I stumbled onto a, a picture of you
A
You wild bitter tale,
G
All cherry oak and tears
Bm D G
As the branches looked in
A G
The summer is done and we are too, dear
F#m D G
Pull back the drape
A
And let the silent light in
G A
Soon, I'll be on that highway
D
And damn
G Bm
This stretch of ninety-nine
A Em
That takes so many lives
G D
One of them was mine
G Bm
Hand me that lil wallet picture
A Em G
Nineteen eighty five, one more time
Verse:
D G
The lights on the street
A
And I'd walk to you at night
G
Were so blindly lit
Bm D G
Yeah, there were four little flames
A
His, mine, and yours
G
And the torch in the attic
F#m D G
I woke up late
A
And kissed you awake
G
As you packed up your load
F#m D G
There was one last look
A
And the U-haul broke free
And now the ditches are
G A
Flooded over the back roads
D
And damn
G Bm
This stretch of ninety-nine
A Em
That takes so many lives
G D
Yeah, one of them was mine
G Bm
Hand me that lil wallet picture
A Em G
Nineteen eighty five, one more time
